How to Use Sezzle in Stores?
If you want to use Sezzle in stores (brick and mortar), you’ll need a Sezzle virtual card. You will have to link the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay and then use that one to pay.
Your Sezzle Virtual Card works with Google Pay or Apple Pay in-store. Use one of these apps:

- Go to the Sezzle Card option
- Tap on the Use Your Sezzle Virtual Card
- Copy payment information such as card number and CVV

But keep in mind that Apple Pay and Google Pay don’t work everywhere. Although Sezzle works with thousands of retailers, many stores still don’t work it. Walmart is one of them.
How Do I Pay Sezzle?
Sezzle collects installment payments via debit cards, credit cards, and bank accounts. It also accepts prepaid debit cards, but only if you’re paying off an installment.
After your initial payment, Sezzle takes out payments every two weeks, so make sure you have enough credit on your Sezzle credit card or money in your bank account to cover each payment. If you don’t make a payment, Sezzle will reschedule it for 48 hours later with a late fee. Making the payment before the 48-hour window ends won’t cost you anything. Sezzle may block you from making new purchases during the second payment attempt, and you’ll still be responsible for paying what you owe.
Additionally, the company may report late payments to the credit bureaus and try to collect the debt in other ways.
